The club’s stated beginning

The Koolie Club of Australia dates its formation to April 2000, describing a group brought together by a shared interest in working Koolies. That is the club’s formation, not the origin date of the dogs themselves. A breed-history timeline should distinguish those subjects and cite older evidence independently. The club’s account is a primary source for its own purpose and activities rather than a complete independent history of every Australian stockdog type.

Find the resource for the question

The site distinguishes breed information, training, choosing a puppy, Koolie Fundamentals, litter notices and registration-related resources. Those routes help a reader choose a useful starting point. A litter notification records a published announcement; it should not be treated as a complete studbook or as proof of every subsequent transfer. For a registration enquiry, use the current registrar process rather than reconstructing an official record from advertisements.

Working variety and individual suitability

The club discusses different Koolie working styles and acknowledges that dogs do not suit every situation. Its breed information is useful context for an informed conversation with breeders, but assess the actual individual, handling experience and intended environment. Do not convert general enthusiasm about the breed into a guarantee of livestock reliability, family suitability or competence in a professional detection role. Those claims require individual evidence and, where applicable, organisational qualification.

Using club material in a public profile

Credit the club as the source of its own organisational facts and obtain permission for photographs or substantial copied material. If a litter notice provides sire and dam names, retain the source and any stated registration authority, then verify identity before linking parents in a public pedigree. Avoid publishing contact or administrative details unrelated to the dog’s sporting and ancestry record. A source-linked explanation is more useful than an unsupported claim that the whole register has been checked.
